Risk Management of Wireless Networks

To the layman, "risk management" may appear to be rationalization (coming up with an excuse to do something), it's actually a decision process whether or not to do or use something. Keeping in mind that risk equates to the existance of a vulnerability coupled with the threat of that vulnerability being exploited, "Risk managment" actually boils down to:

• Risk Acceptance - accepting the threats and vulnerabilities associated with using a specific technology
• Risk Avoidance - removing the threat, the vulnerabilty, or both
• Risk Mitigation - reducing the threat and/or the vulnerability to the point where it is acceptable
• Risk Transferance - making someone else responsible for the threat/vulnerability
